The Atera bike rack was delivered within three days. Unfortunately we were not present and found by the carrier a message that we should pick up the package at a delivery point. Telephone request, the carrier was then delivered to a different address, which was occupied during the day. The carrier itself was safely packed. With about 17 kg, the weight is still bearable, one person can mount the carrier alone. Installation is relatively simple. During insertion and removal of the carrier on the coupling of the carrier must be placed at a certain angle. If you understand this technique, the rest is relatively easy. The 3 bikes were very well attached to the brackets. Due to the many screw the brackets are adjusted very flexibly. Also helpful is a 'ratchet function' of fortifications, with which you can lock the wheels. In the previously made two trips (approximately 700 kilometers on highway and road) there were no problems, the carrier was sitting safely on the clutch. However, no extreme situation had to be mastered. The folding mechanism works well and is very convenient when loading the luggage compartment. If one removes the carrier, it can be folded to fit in the trunk (z. B. Ford Focus). I am very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend the carrier on.
